Bensham fish bar in Gateshead

Staff mumbled and were slow. They seemed to suggest they preferred cash… Chips were stale and dry. Expensive for the quantity and quality. Had to wait a long time on a Friday night with no queue.

Questionable hygiene, angry staff. Food ok

Used lots of times and have never been disappointed, kebab wrap with salad was absolutely delicious 😋

outstanding quality and service delivery driver brilliant 💯 recommend cheers 🍷🥂🥂

Worse food I ever see, very dirty place not fresh at all west off money .I will never go to this shop again.

first time ordering from here and everyone enjoyed it also cheesey garlic bread absolutely beautiful ☺️

beautiful as always my new favourite place to order

chips were cold fish was very greasy and the patties were soggy

Great food. fast delivery. Happy days!

Consistently great fish and chips. Good value for money, always cooked well. Good menu choice. A very popular traditional fish and chips shop. Have tried a few in Cheltenham and this is the best so far.

I ordered a large kebab and got what I can only describe as a child's portion. the salad looked like yesterday's leftovers. won't order again

Awesome food,awesome peeps... The best chippy in a 20 mile radius.Inknow people from all directions coming to this place,and I must say,it is justified! Their pizzas are beautiful,the kebabs always fresh and tasty,and I could just go on and on about the rest.. All in all,if you want good food on down-to-earth prices,then you want to stop here!

Ordered a shish kebab and got seekh and it was raw in the middle, totally unedible, very disappointed since it was also late

Once again I have been served excellent food. The pies were tastylicious along with the excellent hips.

The kebab wrap was good as always but the pizza was a let down, when I paid for green peppers to be added I received yellow and red too which wasn’t what I asked for

Food was still nice and hot and was delicious, never disappoints this place love it

Poor, we ordered 3 x portions fish bites but they didn't have a quantity and they were all random sizes sent in the same container. We order 1 x med 1 x large chips and it was more like a small and a med.Curry flavourless peas watery.

Excellent mince pies and the scampi was exceptionally tasty. The food was hot & thoroughly enjoyed. If I could give 10 Stars i would have no second thoughts about doing so@p

Favourite takeaway without a doubt

Pizza was spot on, kebab not as tasty as usual

Bought two kebab wraps with salad and a margarita pizza which came to £18 and it by far the worst takeaway iv ever had the wraps were filled with salad hardly no kebab and taste horrendous and to top the pizza tasted minging alls you could taste was a strong tomotoe puree sauces were a no go please don't waste your money much nicer takeaways for this price around

No idea what the food’s like as the delivery driver couldn’t find a very big and well known hotel in Newcastle. Instead he parked up and told me to come and find him. Waiting for a refund from Just Eat.

Friendly staff , great portions and priced very reasonable.

Food was cold and you have charged me £3.50 for pop that has £1.99 on but you've a filled it in with a black pen disgusting never again

outstanding service and quality delivery driver brilliant 💯 recommend cheers 🥂🥂 lads

Spot on really been a while since had a good take out!

fresh cooked food delivered early and hot. This place well deserves it's 5 star rating.

Food was hot and tasty as always ,never had a problem ordering food from here ,always happy with it .

Best pizza, helpful and pleasant staff

Good fish and chips as always, always tasty. :)

fantastic service and lovely food will definitely recommend 😊

Customer service was great , food arrived early, warm and in great condition. Looking forward to order from here again.

Food tasty as always but delivery the past couple of times has been a let down. 30 minutes late both times despite ordering a hour in advance of delivery.

Suprb taste of chips suprb Very best quality food

great service, thanks very much

Never had a bad experience from here yet, it’s the only place we use now.

Kebab wrap tasted like rubber. Was cold too when it arrived. Very disappointed

Kebab Chips and Gravy 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Food was great and piping hot almost burnt my mouth trying to eat the food 😂 overall was amazing 10/10

Really disappointed, delivery late, food not hot. I thought after similar experience on first order and second order being much better, the first experience was a one-off. Unfortunately not.

As always perfect. Just can’t fault this place.

order was great only critique it that the garlic mayo was missing the garlic lol

Delivery driver was especially friendly too! Birhgtened up my evening, no end! :)

Used this takeaway many, many times and always perfection

Only think to note, chips weren't piping hot. Gudh v nice

£2.20 for a very small bag of sharp things that they call chips! never again.

Great food! Would give 6* if I could!

Got calzone pizza all raw discussing couldn't eat it rang back up but conveniently closed Rang them next day thay said because its last nights order thay can't do nothing about it. STAY WELL CLEAR

brillant pizza and cheesy chips

Great food. However pizza was very dry - hardly any tomato base

The fish was small flat and dry tasteless fish with hardly any batter on an what batter was there was burnt to a crisp the only good thing was the chips. Will not be going back there again.

Usually so fresh and hot. But fish looked and tasted like it had been done for a while. However, this is a first for us !!

Pizza arrived 2h30 after ordering and was in a damaged box and cold. Was tasty after reheating but overall experience not ideal. Got refunded £2.

Food was good, however arrived cold.

Bensham fish bar is consistently good 👍

Ordered from here twice this week 👌👌👌

Lovely fish and chips fast delivery

This place just gets better, very rarely order from anywhere else. Food always hot, fresh and tasty. Delivery is always quicker than quoted and drivers friendly.

Lovely food, best fish and chips. Delivered on time and hot, thank you.

Worst kebab ever cold and slimey

The garlic sauce was a bit runny, but other than that the food was lovely and hot!

Great value fish n chips. Also serve tasty pizzas!

Everything was absolutely unreal, chips were proper chippy chips which tasted like they used to! Chicken tikka unreal, pizza unreal, salad fresh as anything…If this was a bird it would be Kelly Brooke. 10/10 guys

Ordered Our food over phone. We were told it would be 15mins. Still had to wait. Only live 5mins walk I used this this shop for my clients. (I'm a carer) used to complain for them. Thought it had changed after better word of mouth. Collected our order Chips dry as sticks Batter burnt. Dry overcooked fish.

First time I've ordered from them but I would again :)

Kebab and the pizza were absolutely lovely

Nan bread was rock hard. Shame as everything else was good,

Very enjoyable, will definitely order again.

We got a large kebab, the meat wasn’t to bad a few rubbery bits. It was the 12 chips (literally) that was a bit of a let down, expect more then that!

Fast delivery. Good food I'm very happy with my order Thank you

First time ordering from here and the food was amazing

Food alway hot and delicious 😋

I ordered separate fish and a small chips as these were for 2 different people the fish and chips came rammed in a box together when i tried to rescue the fish it broke into pieces so the person who only want chips could not have them, Order shish kebab the order page says with salad and dip and got no salad just more chips rammed in tin foil with the shish and naan bread. I was very disappointment when i rang them to say the order was wrong the man just said are the next time you order i give you something free he never offered to sort it out for us last night i ordered from some where else and they got my order correct. I WILL NOT BE USING THESE AGAIN.

Best takeaway by miles. Every meal I’ve had is perfect

the Kabab was greasy and cold. The chillies sauce was watery.

Chips are the best I've had in a while and still hot will defo be going back

Love Bensham fish bar, Food is always hot and tasty,Driver's always friendly.

Love this place for our Fish x Chips, Always hot, Tasty, Driver's always friendly.

The only decent thing about this order was the garlic sauce and curry sauce. Everything else tasted like it had sat there prepared days earlier

Fish cake and chips were cold and very dry, as if they had been made for a while. Fish cake so dry. First time ever. The food has been unsatisfactory. Norlt the usual standards we've had.

Really good food, fast delivery so it's hot and fresh

Good portion of chips but batter tasted funny. Forgot to put salad in burger but otherwise ok

Great food, delivered fresh and hot.

No experience of the food. However they’ve just refused to serve my mam and 2 year old son a bottle of kids juice in 17 degrees because she only had card ( chip and pin ) and contactless. Nothing but greed.

Got the order wrong, I updated at the time was told a refund was being processed still not received ended up with extra chips no salad all paid for and wasted not great which is unusual

Lovely fish and chips. Highly recommend.

Unfortunately the nann kebab was burnt

Fresh, tasty. Got the chicken tikka kebab and chips. Even the salad was fresh! First time ordering, will do again.

12" pizza, delivered early, piping hot and fresh.

Used this takeaway loads of times, constantly great.

Forgot the tub of chilli but didn’t mind as the food was lush! Will be ordering again:)

Chips could’ve used some salt but that was my mistake for not asking, apart from that, phenomenal.

Missing salad and a sauce. Garlic was just like mayo and the chilli was so sweet. Chips weren't cooked properly

The large cod is advertised as cod and chips but it is only cod and no fish. A total con. £3.50 for a bottle of Pepsi is disgusting. Over a 300% profit on the cash and carry shop. Absolute con artists. Bartter soft and sticky. Greasy chips. Phoned actual shop and said didn't have time to assess the Justeat Application. Basically con artists. Say no delivery charge!! Christ they rip your guts out with greasy soft batter, no flavour and the fact advertised as fish and chips but no chips. Con artists

I hate leaving a poor review as the food quality is usually excellent but for some reason this time the fish was terrible it was full of bones, dry and tasted “old” I seriously hope this is a one off

Good food, rapid delivery so everything is fresh and hot.

I was really disappointed, we have been using Bensham for a few years now it is our local. Our food today arrived cold. Everything had to be reheated which defeats having a takeaway. The app was not updated it just turned up, so who knows when it left the shop, as it was on time but as said cold. The first time I’ve not been happy with this takeaway. It’s put me off.

Food is always great from here. I've never been let down by these guys.

Came quick was tasty hot and fresh. Top marks!

Foods just a no go chips manky re heated or left in a warmer for some time chicken parmo overcooked hard dry thin rubbery
